1970s: Space Invaders comes out with deep, story-driven world building

1980s: Super Mario Bros comes out with deep, story-driven world building

1990s: Mortal Kombat comes out with deep, story-driven world building

2000s: Counterstrike comes out with deep, story-driven world building

2010s: Minecraft comes out with deep, story-driven world building (this one is funny because you dig deep and build worlds)
